dinachi:
Messiah of who?

Some of una needs to have your heads checked!

Let me lay it out for you.

He is the worst candidate in the elections( Murtala Ajaka)

1. He is a stark illiterate( He is using a forged certificate to run)

2. He used to be the gateman at ACN office in Abuja. He was arrested for stealing one of the buses parked there and detained for a long time. It took special intervention to release him.

3. His party SDP has no structure in Kogi State.

4. He is just cashing in on tribal sentiments to advance his cause but he will fail woefully in the elections today. Watch and see.

Court stopping a mass protest? Wtf

The Labour Party (LP) House of Representatives member representing Eti Osa Federal Constituency in Lagos State, Attah Thaddeus has been reinstated as the winner of the Eti-Osa Federal Constitiency Election by the Appeal Court sitting in Lagos.

This is coming after a series of legal battles stemming from the February 25, 2023 election.
Substantiating this judgment in his verified Twitter handle of Hon Babajide Obanikoro, he said “I would like to congratulate Representative Jude Thaddeus Attah on his victory at the appeal court today.
“Let’s throw our support for him so that he would give us a good representation for the next four years in Eti-Osa.”
In the same vein, Gubernatorial Candidate of the Labour Party in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour said ” Some people said this win was fake news.
“Fortunately, the appeal court ruled in our favour against the APC Petitioner today as well.
“Congratulations again, @NgLabour
#ourlagos”
It would be recalled that Lagos State National and State House of Assembly Election Petition tribunal, located in Ikeja, Lagos State, annulled Attah’s election in August.
The court’s ruling mandated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a supplementary election within 90 days in the 32 polling units of Eti-Osa.

Furthermore, it ordered the withdrawal of the return certificate previously issued to Attah and called for new elections in areas where voting did not occur on February 25.
Dissatisfied with the tribunal’s decision, Attah pursued the matter in the Court of Appeal, ultimately succeeding in reclaiming his mandate. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State, announced Attah’s triumphant return to the House of Representatives.

In the February 25 election, Attah had initially contested against notable opponents, including the musician Banky W of the PDP and Babajide Obanikoro of the APC.
Attah emerged as the winner with 24,075 votes, with Banky W securing the second position with 18,666 votes, and Obanikoro coming in third with 16,901 votes.

Toluige Olokoobi, the mother to Oreofeoluwa Lawal-Babalola, the little boy who inspired the viral “mummy be calming down” video, has committed suicide.

In 2020, Oreofeoluwa became an instant sensation on social media platforms after a video went viral of him in tears from his mum’s scolding while confidently telling her to “calm down” and give him a “last chance”.

The footage also inspired Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos governor’s Eid-el-Kabir message to Muslim faithfuls and inhabitants of the state wherein he urged them to maintain calm amid the COVID-19 crisis.

The boy alongside his family thereafter met with the governor, who commended his courage and composure.

Oreofeoluwa was featured in several interviews with media houses. He also said he wants to be a police officer to help fight corruption in Nigeria

But on Tuesday, an X user disclosed that Toluige committed suicide in Benin due to unknown reasons.

The X user, who said he was at the scene of the incident on Monday afternoon, added that Toluige had refused to share her problems with anyone before taking her own life.

“The woman in the viral Mummy Calm down video has just committed suicide here in Benin,” he wrote.

“She refused to speak to anyone about her problems. She left three kids for her husband including the popular Mummy Calm Down boy.”

POLICE CONFIRMS TOLUIGE’S DEATH, HUSBAND DETAINED

Confirming Toluige’s demise in a chat with BBC Pidgin, Chidi Nwabuzor, the spokesperson of the Edo state police command, said her husband has been arrested and detained for questioning.

Nwabuzor said the husband reported the matter to the police.

The police spokesperson quoted the husband to have said that “he came home from the market when he saw his wife hanging with rope on her neck”.

Nwabuzor said she was rushed to the hospital and then to the mortuary after she was confirmed dead

ravensckar:
Or for the umbilical cord to be buried alongside the nylon (wraps). Where such happens, there are serious implications. I would have said it but we have a lot of 'woke' generation here and me I don't like to be misquoted because I get hot temper.

theamazonguru:
Yoruba culture is the same everywhere.
When it comes to placenta, the parents think you might be careless with it,so they take it as their duty to handle. Except you are from a bad family that has other intentions.

And as for the naming ceremony, this has been a major issue, provided the father is alive the first naming ceremony is usually done in his place to honor him.
It's a cultural thing.
The man has seen his friends being honored with it, he also wants same. Nothing unusual here.
My parents were understanding, they gave me options . They were fine with my choice.
I only chose to do it at their place as a mark of honor.
Make una no too demonize this man.

Except there are hidden intentions we are yet to be aware of.

By this time next 10 years, I see sio.fra, jen.nyclay, ahn.ie, po.cochants crying out wanting to be someone’s 7th wife or even someone’s baby mama

This I have seen.

mariahAngel:
Did the man even love his own son enough? I doubt.



Also, what is it with African parents and their children's placenta/umbilical cord?
What do they do with it? That is how they go about, tying their children's destiny to some deity they know little to nothing of its origin.

Cynthia Omowunmi Aloba, the wife of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, better known as Mohbad, has revealed the reason why Mohbad’s father doesn’t like her.

She shared her perspective during her testimony at the Candide-Johnson Court House in Ita Elewa, Ikorodu.

In her testimony before the Lagos coroner’s inquest on Tuesday, Omowunmi disclosed that Mohbad’s father, Oladimeji Aloba, believed she was responsible for causing a rift between him and Mohbad, leading to their strained relationship.
The deterioration in her relationship with her father-in-law began after the birth of her son, Liam.

She told the coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, that Mohbad’s father became angry with her for Mohbad choosing not to have Liam’s naming ceremony in Ikorodu.

She narrated, “I used to have a very good relationship with my father-in-law before the birth of my son, Liam. In fact, I used to invite him to our house on many occasions
“But because Mohbad was angry with him over some of the things he was doing and his refusal to hold our son’s naming ceremony in Ikorodu, he became angry with me, thinking I was the one behind it all.

“So he became my enemy and was not talking to me like before.”

Also, she narrated how she and Baba Mohbad used to be very close. Mohbad’s father had prayed for her to conceive Liam. She explained that their closeness was to such an extent that Mohbad’s father even brought his girlfriend to their rented apartment in Lekki. She never raised any objections because, in her view, it was his son’s house. The girlfriend in question differed from the stepmother at their family home, so Mohbad’s house served as their meeting point.

The problems started when she gave birth to Liam. According to Wunmi, the cause of their strained relationship was Liam’s placenta. She and Mohbad refused to hand over Liam’s placenta to Daddy Mohbad, leading to a series of arguments. Wunmi clarified that it was initially Mohbad’s decision not to hand over the placenta to his father, and she, as his wife, merely supported that decision.

Wunmi also addressed the allegations made by Baba Mohbad, claiming to have seen a blood-soaked bucket in Mohbad’s room. She refuted these claims, stating that it was all untrue. Mohbad’s brother, who lived with them, could testify that the “blood” was from a minor cut, and what was soaked up was water.
Wunmi expressed her frustration with people defaming her on social media for things she did not do. She also mentioned that Mohbad’s Canada visa was approved just a day before he died. Due to the threats she faced, she had to leave her husband’s house after his death. The next coroner inquest hearing has been rescheduled to November 15th.

Bianca Ojukwu, a former ambassador and widow of Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, says the Anambra Truth, Justice and Peace Committee has uncovered a mass grave site in the state.

The truth, justice and peace committee was constituted in 2022 by Chukwuma Soludo, the state governor, to help address the secessionist agitations, insecurity and other challenges in the state.

Chidi Odinkalu, former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), and Ojukwu are the chairman and secretary respectively.

In a statement posted on Wednesday on her Facebook page, Ojukwu said during the course of its public hearing, the commission interrogated a total of 39 witnesses who testified on oath while 243 exhibits were collected.

She added that 322 persons were verified as killed or dead as a result of violence as testified by the witnesses.

“The commission also met with 31 petitioners, including 11 organisations, 19 communities and one individual during the marathon sittings which lasted from Oct. 26 to Nov. 3,” the statement reads.

“18 persons have been categorically identified as missing or disappeared.

“In the course of the proceedings, the gruesome discovery of a mass grave site was brought by testimonies, to the attention of the Commission.

“Chairman of the Commission Prof Chidi Odinkalu mandated that the suspected mass-grave site be sealed for forensic investigation by pathologists. This will help in unravelling who the victims were and the circumstances of their deaths.

“The TJP commission had earlier held the first phase of its public hearing between June and July this year in the course of which we considered 24 petitions and met with 48 witnesses who testified on oath from 14 communities of the state within a 10-day hearing.

“A Bureau of Missing Persons as recommended by this Commission has already been established in the state to document the missing and the circumstances of their disappearance.

A secondary school teacher identified as Olaniran Lateef, has been arrested for allegedly raping two girls in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun state.

In a statement on Wednesday, Motunrayo Adeleye, commissioner for women affairs in Ogun, said the suspect is a 43-year-old mathematics teacher at Ebenezer Grammar school in Iberekodo area of the state.

Adeleye said a complaint was lodged against the suspect about an alleged rape.

The commissioner added that members of a team from the ministry and the police deployed to Lateef’s house caught him while raping another lady.

"On Saturday, a member of our team got a call from a young lady reporting that she has been raped by a man,” the statement reads.

“We swung into action and located her, took her to the laboratory to run several tests before taking her to the police station to make a report.

“We thereafter went with the police to the accused home but after several knocks, he refused to open the gate.

“We were able to locate the brother to the house owner who assisted us in gaining access to the compound.

“We heard a girl’s cry for help when we got into the compound and with the support of the police, we caught Mr. Olaniran Lateef Adewale, a secondary school mathematics teacher at Ebenezer Grammar school Iberekodo, Abeokuta and a native of Ipokia local government of Ogun state with OGNO.30650 of Ogun State Teaching service commission.

“The girl with him also accused him of forcibly having sexual intercourse with her and threatening to kill her if she does not ask her family to send him money.”

The commissioner said the suspect has been remanded at the Ogun state police command headquarters pending more investigation.

We use this opportunity to encourage any one with useful information about this man to come forward and we also encourage rape victims to always report rape cases to the ministry,” she added.

“The victims will undergo counseling to help ease this unimaginable trauma.We say no more victim shaming! And we promise to get justice for the victims.”

In a trending video online, the suspect, while responding to a question from the commissioner, said he had been having a conversation with the girls for a long time.

Condemning the incident in a statement shared on X, Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun, said rape is a criminal offence and must be eradicated from society.

“I want to assure you that the government and law enforcement agencies are committed to tackling this issue head-on and ensuring justice prevails,” Abiodun said.

“Our collective voice must resound in unison, condemning these acts and demanding justice for the victims.

“Rape is a criminal offence that leaves lasting scars on its survivors—physically, emotionally, and mentally.

“No individual should experience such trauma or live in constant fear of becoming a victim.

“Our law enforcement agencies have intensified their efforts to investigate instances of sexual assault and apprehend the culprits.”

When contacted, Omolola Odutola, police spokesperson in the state, also confirmed the incident.

There was no plans for the new notes or a plan on how to handle it....

I think it was just used to print more money into the hands of the Politicians for election purposes

How is this defending biko, our brown envelope journalists?


He said the LP House members told him that the car is not for their personal use but for official use, meaning they will only be shortchanging themselves (LP) if they decide not to use it since the car is for each office...


That aside, just imagine if it's Obi that's the president, you think he will not convince the house members to go for a cheaper version of those cars, instead of this overpriced ones Tinubu has used to welcome them into his malfeasance?

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) says it apprehended three suspected passport racketeers, Etaoghere Cyril, Okunika Joy and Adehaka Blessing for duping people in Ondo.

The NIS spokesman in Ondo stated this Tuesday at the command’s headquarters in Akure, revealing that suspects were arrested after charging exorbitant fees from some applicants seeking to get passports.
He said the suspects would be handed over to the police.

Mr Alebiosu revealed that the suspects charged N80,500 for a 32-page five-year passport, N100,500 for 64 64-page five-year passport, and N165,000 for a 64-page 10-year passport.

The NIS official noted that the crime committed by the three suspects was against the widely publicised cost of a passport on the Nigeria Immigration Service website.

According to Mr Alebiosu, the trio were arrested after a series of complaints at the NIS passport office in Akure that these people still capitalize on the previous lapses in the passport administration to dupe unsuspecting members of the public.

“Upon hearing of such a syndicate in Akure, the PCO sent an officer to disguise as a civilian looking to obtain a passport to the suspect office where he was presented with some Immigration documents to obtain his data for passport application, which eventually led to their arrest,” Mr Alebiosu explained.

The immigration officer added, “At this juncture, we must make it known to members of the public that a Nigerian passport being issued by the Nigeria Immigration Service is neither a commodity that can be bargained over nor a service that NIS employs an agent to carry out on her behalf.”
